We hooked up a computer scanner to the car a few days ago and noticed the ECT sensor voltage going wild. I checked the sensor itself and it was fine, but I figured for the hell of it, I would change the harness since it seemed to read wierd when I wiggled it. Sure enough I cut the harness off, turn it around and see this. . .



For once in god knows how long, my fan actually kicks on on it's own!!!

I guess THIS is why Ford has the wiggle test.

Sorry for the somewhat pointless thread, but I'm so happy right now, you have no idea. I think I'm going to take the money I had stashed away for major repairs (I planned on the pump and radiator) and get some 3.73's and new brakes.

It's peanut butter jelly time

Wow! Congrats on fixing it!! Good find. Great photo of a common, but annoying problem! You'll love the new gears - and having good brakes is pretty nice too. HA!
